So I am now thinking of putting a Radix on my 02 Yukon. The vehicle runs fine but is in, my wife's words, "a piece of crap" (she drives the Radix Denali as it won't fit in the parkade where I work ).

So I am just wondering, does this engine have too much wear and tear at this point to handle a Radix with a tune?

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks!

go for it! Some high milage engines probably have less wear than some newer ones, depending on how well it was maintained and driven.

 

Nope, it should be just fine.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the only service needed on a Radix is at 100k miles and thats only a gear case oil change?

At 45k miles on the kit I would have no problem putting it on a brand new truck/SUV... just go to Magnuson for a new tuner box and any other fuel parts etc that are needed and call it a day...

 

I have 42K on my engine now,...its got a Radix on it

 

I got 80,000 on my truck with a turbo. Had 68,000 when I put on the procharger

 

I think I had more miles than that when I installed my maggie. I've got around 63K right, but my SS hasn't been a DD till recently. I kept her parked 5 days a week and put many "weekend" miles on her. I had to have around 50K or more when I finally bolted it on and I've ran a Zippy SC tune ever since.

 

Actually sorry i should have been more specific in the title, the engine has 45,000 miles on it, not the maggie. I am looking at buying a used maggie with 14,000 miles on it

 

DO IT
